10/11/03 NazBar Day!

Fantastic, I learned so much. I should have gone a long time ago.

There is nothing like someone showing you how it's supposed to be done. I read a lot and had a general idea, but I was doing many things wrong. Mike schooled.

The people are great and extremly helpful.

I can't wait to go up there again as soon as I get my shirt. They let me borrow a shirt and wrist wraps, what a difference, thanks.

Thanks again Deb, Mike and everyone there.

i've got one on the way and i may know how to fix your lockout issues...do you have minis? if you do, do some pushdowns with them and see if those help. tb

 

[Parabellum]

I have one mini. I'll give that a shot and let you know what happens.

Thanks for the tip.

nice ###'s bro!

Mule's advice from MM's forum:

"put your left index finger on the power line and your right middle or ring finger on the power line try a staggeered grip for awhile. also whe you are pressing think about your right arm or have someone yll right arm..You can also have someone put an extra 5 lbs on the left side of the bar till you get caught up"

I'm going to incorporate this for a little while and add the mini pushdowns on a separate day.

i think you'll get addicted to those pusdowns w/minis. tb
